In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Betty Smeester, and two brothers, Johnie and Andy Lowe, his nieces, Nikki and Annette. A 1977 graduate of Man High School, Robert was deeply rooted in the Buffalo Creek community, where his leadership and kindness touched countless lives.

Beyond his career, Robert was the fire chief of the Buffalo Creek Volunteer Fire Department, where he served selflessly, ensuring the safety and well-being of his neighbors. His commitment to helping others extended beyond his professional life into his everyday actions. Robert’s heart was with his family, who were the center of his world. He was a loving father to his two sons and a proud grandfather to his six grandchildren, who brought him endless joy and pride. His furbaby, Princess, was his constant companion and best friend, faithfully by his side in all of life’s moments. A man of many talents and passions, Robert found joy in gardening, growing an abundance of vegetables that he lovingly canned and shared with his community.
